The former mogul, who was convicted of raping a woman in a second trial, will likely spend the rest of his life in prison.
This trial centered on testimony from four women, all known as Jane Does in court, who accused Weinstein of raping or sexually assaulting them from 2004 to 2013. Four others also testified that they were assaulted, though their claims didn’t lead to charges. In total, prosecutors called 44 witnesses to the stand to make their case against the former movie mogul.
The sentence follows Jane Doe 1, whose testimony prompted the sole guilty verdict from jury, suing Weinstein in February for rape and false imprisonment, among other claims. She alleged she was assaulted at an L.A. hotel in February 2013 after she met Weinstein at a film festival, accusing the former movie mogul of forcing her to perform oral sex on him before pulling her into the bathroom to rape her.
Before sentencing, she addressed the court on how Weinstein’s assault impacted her. She said she suffered depression and blamed herself for the rape. She urged the court to issue the “maximum sentence allowed.”Weinstein faced two counts of rape and five counts of other types of sexual assault. He pleaded not guilty to all charges against him.
